I'm thinking about all of Scotland's teachers today as they find the right words, maintain that encouraging smile, find ways to laugh, create memories for a lifetime, and say goodbye with a cheery wave but a sad heart. Stay strong. You've done Scotland proud.
These wonderful children were invited for Tea with the HT today for demonstrating our school values- hard work, respect, honesty, caring for others and having a positive healthy attitude. Well done!
